Seems like this thread is like a serpent in the grass, ready to strike at a moment's notice... which is why I went with this today.

CAROLINA COBRAS

The Carolina Cobras here are a mix of current NAL Cobras and the original Carolina Cobras.... subsituting the gold for silver and emphasing the black and blood red as this is a team representing South Carolina.

Speaking of Arena Football, there's one team in the XFL that would be taking advantage of it all.

LAS VEGAS OUTLAWS

The Outlaws of Las Vegas... hate them or not have the perfect Arena Identity.... located in the confines of the Golden Knights stadium, this side that employs vegas gold, strip red, outlaw black and white to set themselves up for perfect attendances in small levels.

Wonder as I brought the prototype logo back and essentially updated the color design to match modern day Vegas standards... especially since the Vipers were essentially rounded up like boot snakes.

Also the helmet is a reference to the former Arena Football Outlaws.

"looks at the West division" I am not satisfied with only the Denver Dynamite as its sole rep.... let's give them company!

DENVER GOLD

And now for the superior team of Denver... the much loved Denver Gold with it's main attribute of Chrome Gold alongside light gold, black and white.... the team has a superior logo which is maintained and worked mostly as a better looking Pittsburgh Steelers kit wise.... yes even better with black, black, white as opposed to the black and gold :censored:fest in Pittsburgh.

I hope you're not suggesting that The Rock personally designed the XFL uniforms.

No. I'm saying he personally funded the morons that designed the XFL uniforms.

Dwanye the Rock Johnson would probably kick my ass in a wrestling ring however design wise I can kick his ass... and most of us design wise too especially

The Rock says that I am too cheap to fund a league that makes sense.

Sometimes I'm a sucker for a good design... especially from a defunt team.

DALLAS TEXANS

Yes the Texans... a side from the early 90's that had some good logos, colors but hey it's better than Jerryworld's bastard son and his Desperados.

If the design isn't good enough then not much you can do with a team that literally took a defunt NFL's colors and make them their own.

Summary of Arena Football thread so far:

EAST
Tampa Bay Bandits
Orlando Apollos

New York Guardians
DC Defenders
Miami (Vi)pers
Albany Firebirds

NORTH

Pittsburgh Maulers

Michigan Panthers

Birmingham Iron ((Don't argue with logic))

Chicago Enforcers

Chicago Bruisers

Detroit Drive

Pittsburgh Gladiators

SOUTH

Memphis Showboats

Arizona Hotshots

Tennessee Rage

Tampa Bay Storm

WEST

Denver Dynamite

-----

As you can see, I've been upfront with East and North so far... and lacking on the South and West.

Next team up is a 90's team with personality, colour and a prime location.... most people tend to be like Indiana? But the logo will tell you HAHAHA NO...

ALBANY FIREBIRDS

That logo, that face.... I was originally going to borrow @WideRight's logo for the Firebirds but then that face told me it had character, it had branding and it was better off on a white helmet so I merged the two eras of the kit... the original kit set with the updated logo before their move to Indiana.

However Albany will always be their home and thus eligibility to the Eastern section with the Defenders and the Guardians.

You ain't the only one... I said it was going to end in failure at some point.

Thank you. This is what I was hoping for. Something a little out of the box. 

No problem, I figured I would have to merge a couple of teams at some point.... the Maniax didn't have a good logo set but had a good teal and the Rage had navy and gold which is Nashville colours so put two and two together and boom Rage of a different city.

"looks at his watch" Oh look it's time to...

TENNESSEE RAGE

It be criminal not to waste the Rage, it be absolute criminal to not use the Orlando Rage here however it wasn't enough to use on it's own so I merged this team with the Memphis Maniax and moved that combo all the way to Nashville where Navy, Gold and now Teal dominate the city and become the Rage that the state of Tennessee needs to be.

HOWEVER... I would like to announce that the Wildcats are not going to be a part of this league, instead two sides will merge into one to take their place.

Older vets would also say Vice City

A Paint friendly version you say? "interested"

And now for another Tampa team.

TAMPA BAY STORM

The Storm has a great logo and a clean uniform set and that is what I decided to do.... sometimes it's not about the bad and ugly stuff, sometimes its about preserving a team that lasted since 1993.

Why two Tampa teams?

In Arena Football there's not much budget thus the affordability of having more than one team in a city and I am not putting them in Miami.... if this team was in Miami we would of had a Miami Vice decal but since that costs MONEY they're staying in Tampa.

That's easy.

USFL: Panthers, Stallions, Showboats
XFL: Roughnecks, Renegades, Brahmas, Defenders, Battlehawks

Makes me feel sorry for the Vipers...

But then it wouldn't be called a Spring League if it started from the Super Bowl...

Well I can see this ending in failure.... again....

Finally! The Vipers are up.

Yeah It's preventing me from uploading images at the moment.

It's time for the obligational bad looking team!

TAMPA BAY/MIAMI VIPERS

Arena Football will always have a home for a team that has now been rejected twice by two cities now... this is the price of being cheap in the Rock's 'UFL'.

Meanwhile everyone else's reaction...

I would like to get some feedback for the Vipers if it's possible.

This is what I am working on atm:
